Abstract

1,012,342. Aerials. C.S.F. COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. Sept. 17, 1962 [Sept. 18, 1961], No. 35389/62. Heading H4A. The invention relates to a spherical communications satellite 1 designed to follow orbits located in the equatorial plane of the earth and stabilized so that the axis n, s is maintained parallel to the solar axis of the earth and comprises a plurality of directional aerials 2 equispaced around the periphery of that diametral plane which is perpendicular to the axis n, s. The aperture angles of adjacent aerials intersect at the 3 db points and the orbit of the satellite is chosen such that the aperture angle meets the earth's surface tangentially. The satellite may operate as a relay station as described in Specification 1,004,980 and the aerials 2 may be of the type disclosed in said Specification.
